"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- An off-by-one error in the BSON bulk document writer in the MongoDB C Driver can write one zero byte
immediately past a heap allocation when a document ends at a specific buffer boundary. An actor who can
influence the size of documents serialized by an embedding application can corrupt adjacent process memory
or terminate the process. Reaching this issue requires the application to use the BSON bulk-writer API and
produce a precise cumulative document size. (CVE-2026-106431)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
